If you log in remotely via telnet, (I tested with an unencrypted
connection, but I would suspect that an encrypted connection would
also do this), and then drop the connection, your login's pid doesn't
get removed from the sessions file (which means al_acct_revert() isn't
getting called). Of course, cleanup will get it eventually, but not
on a private workstation which doesn't reactivate very often.
